and it begins. I understand the reasons a moderator may have for censoring non-constructive criticisms, but it's a prime example of how Ubisoft repeatedly ignores everything the community offers up, and releases whatever broken game they want to instead.

This is the reason why this fall, for the first time ever, I will not own an Assassin's Creed game once release day has come and gone.

I'm glad you adressed the fact that there's a difference between censoring helpful critique and censoring unhelpful criticism. Still, the developers do not completely "ignore everything the community offers up." They have expressed attempts to increase relations with fans and take more advice from the community (their recent polls on ac mp show evidence of that). Are they doing enough? Probably not...but at least they're trying.
